LESSON 1 Understanding Action Research
Guided Practice
Examine the previous action research conducted by the teachers. Supply the
information needed in the table below:
Yes.
We conducted the study because it is a requirement and Sir Emman Clarion wanted
us to conduct an action research.
The topic of our research rely on sustaining inclusive education during crisis
situations
4. Do you have enough time to conduct action research?
Yes.
Yes, for us the proponents of Project I.I.S.A. are BERF grantees. So, we are given
30,000 pesos as our budget during the pre-implementation, implementation, and
post-implementation.
Processing
Examine the data you have gathered. Answer the following questions:
1. Do the school and the teachers have a research culture?
Yes, as what I have observed, MNHS really value the research culture not only for
the teachers but as well as the students in Senior High since they have Practical
Research 1 and 2.
Yes.
3. How did action research improve the teaching and learning practices in the
school?
By promoting research culture among educators, I saw a good knock-on effect that
extended throughout the entire organization. Instructors have been able to modify
their teaching strategies to better meet the different needs of the student body
through their action research projects. A more inclusive setting for learning, better
academic performance, and higher levels of student involvement have all been
brought about by this personalized approach.
4. What are the things that could be done to encourage the teachers to conduct
action research?
Make certain that teachers have the time and resources available to them to carry
out research projects. This could entail scheduling specific time in the academic
calendar for research, giving them access to databases for their studies, offering
incentives for conducting research, and assisting in the coordination of efforts with
outside specialists. This I think, teachers will be encouraged to conduct action
research.
Reflection
I realized that:
The school's teaching and learning culture is significantly impacted when
teachers participate in action research. The instructors' testimonies and
experiences demonstrate the transforming potential of thoughtful research.
Individual/Group research projects have a profound impact that goes well beyond
the classroom and cultivates a cooperative community committed to ongoing
development. Action research is a force for good that penetrates every part of
our educational environment, it is not merely a professional undertaking.
I believe it is essential to:
Create a welcoming atmosphere where our teaching staff members feel valued
and encouraged to conduct action research. Given the natural relationship that
exists between reflective research and improving teaching and learning, I firmly
believe that offering opportunities for professional development, praising and
honoring the work of educators, and guaranteeing resource assistance are
essential.
From now on, I am determined to:
Encourage and assist the proactive incorporation of action research into our
school's professional growth program. Teachers and students can benefit from
an exciting and collaborative learning environment that is created by integrating
action research with the school's objectives. I'm committed to promoting an
environment of inquiry and ongoing development, using action research as the
foundation of our pedagogical approach.
